The two shows are based on people achieving "impossible" things - going to space and Antartica. Portrayed are the hopes, difficulties and self-doubts which are encountered every step of the way. Focus is placed on the importance of having people who support you, and who you support in turn. Both shows are grounded in reality (though Space Brothers is a lot more realistic), with well-written characters who avoid common anime tropes and archetypes. The music and production values for both is great as well! They enhance emotional scenes superbly. Would highly recommend both shows. Very motivating and feel-good.

The relationship between the two leading characters in each anime is similar: -there is a slow, natural-paced blossoming romance (with no typical shoujo complications owing to a 3rd rival or the like) -they have to come to terms with the issue of race; the female in both cases will live long after the man dies of old age. There are also many cultural differences at first. -there is a LOT of dialogue and witty banter between the two. -they are both travelling together throughout a vast land/space
